Fees
Application fees

- There is no application fee for admission; admission applications are not charged.

Tuition fees (by year group, per term and per year)

- Years 7–11 (Key Stage 3 & 4): Tuition fee per term: GBP 0.00. Tuition fee per year: GBP 0.00. (State-funded day-school provision; no tuition charged.)

- Sixth Form / Post-16 (Years 12–13, including A-levels and the IB Diploma): Tuition fee per term: GBP 0.00. Tuition fee per year: GBP 0.00. (The IB Diploma and A‑levels are provided without tuition charge.)

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Regular tuition billing is not applicable because tuition is not charged. Charges only arise for optional extras (for example trips, extended‑day services, certain instrumental tuition, specific exam entries, or items parents choose to purchase). When a charge will be made for an activity, parents are informed of the charge and how it is calculated before payment is requested.

- Payments for meals, trips, resources and extracurricular items are handled on a cashless basis through ParentPay; parents receive login details to top up and monitor accounts online. The school's finance team issues invoices for chargeable services where required and records payments.

- Optional extras are charged at no more than the actual cost (costs are divided equally by participating pupils and do not include a subsidy element). Deposits may be requested for trips; when requested these deposits are normally non‑refundable.

Boarding fees (if applicable)

- Boarding provision is not applicable. The school operates as a day school with published opening hours and is a non‑fee‑paying state academy; therefore there are no boarding fees.

Other costs and fees (examples and typical chargeable items)

- School meals: Paid via the cashless ParentPay system; parents top up pupil accounts and pay per meal or by pre‑loaded credit.

- Uniform: A compulsory school uniform is required. Branded items are available only through approved suppliers (Juniper Uniform, Rumbles Uniform Shop, Ace Clothing Company). Parents are responsible for purchasing required uniform items. Second‑hand uniform provision is available. No fixed prices are published on the school pages.

- Music tuition: Chargeable where tuition is provided at the request of a parent; charges will not exceed the cost of provision.

- Examination fees: No charge for entry to prescribed public examinations if the pupil has been prepared for them at the school. The Trust may charge examination fees in specific circumstances (for example, entries for pupils not prepared at the school or for certain external exams).

- Residential visits and trips: Board and lodging for residential visits may be charged but only up to the actual cost; other trip costs and optional extras may be charged at cost. Initial trip deposits are normally non‑refundable; refunds and cancellations are handled on a case‑by‑case basis.

- Damaged or lost items and replacement resources: Charges may be applied for damage, loss or replacement of school property or resources where appropriate.

- Extended‑day services and extra curricular clubs: These may be charged as optional extras (e.g. after‑school clubs, supervised homework sessions).

Refund information

- Initial deposits for school trips are non‑refundable. If the school cancels a trip, parental contributions will be refunded. Refunds where a trip is cancelled by a third party, or where a parent cancels a booking, are at the school's discretion and will be decided case‑by‑case. If trip contributions exceed the total confirmed cost, an excess greater than GBP 1 per pupil will be refunded. Complaints about refunds are managed through the school's complaints procedures.

Fee payment options and practical payment details

- Cashless online payments via ParentPay are used for school meals, trips, resources and extracurricular payments; parents receive login details to set up and top up accounts.

- The finance team issues invoices and records payments for chargeable services; where assistance or remissions are available, parents are advised to contact the finance department (accounts@whtc.co.uk) for support.

How charges are calculated and support for families

- Charges for optional extras are calculated to cover only the actual cost of provision; the Trust will inform parents how any charge has been calculated. Voluntary contributions may be requested for some activities; no pupil is excluded from an activity because their family does not or cannot contribute. Remission or assistance is available in specified circumstances and through the finance department.
